A, Radiography showing the frontal view of the pelvis after femoral head resection and implantation of a gentamicin-containing cement spacer. The image shows no leg-length discrepancy, and the Shenton's line is restored. B, Radiography showing the frontal view of the pelvis after the implantation of a noncemented total hip prosthesis with no signs of loosening and an intact Shenton's line.

Osteoarticular infections due to nontyphi Salmonella (NTS) are rarely encountered. We describe the case of an adult patient with septic arthritis of the hip caused by NTS. Debridement of the hip and a total hip arthroplasty were required for total recovery to occur. A 57-year-old man was admitted in our hospital for pain, fever, and motion range limitation in the right hip. The patient had been being treated with high doses of prednisone for the previous 2 months. The patient also had had a urine infection for 2 weeks.
